She Is Not DeadOh! call it not death---it is life begun,For the waters are pass'd, the home is won;The ransomed spirit hath reached the shoreWhere they weep, and suffer, and sin no more.She is safe in her Father's house aboveIn the place prepared by her Savior's love;To depart from a world of sin and strife,And to be with Jesus--yes,--this is life.Oh! call it not death--'tis a holy sleep,And the precious dust the Lord doth keep,She shall walk again--and how satisfiedWith the likeness of Him, who for her died,As he rose again, she shall also rise,From the quiet bed, where now safe she lies;Then cheer ye, fond mourners, who sadly weep,For happy are they who in Jesus sleep.

Rose Verona Ristine, daughter of Henry and Missouri Ristine was born March 10 1877. She was united in marriage to Doss Bishop, December 21 1895. She and her husband were engaged in the hotel, restaurant and mercantile business in Cainsville for 51 years.She was a member of the Methodist Church.After the death of her husband, Mrs Bishop took great pride in raising flowers and the upkeep of her home. She derived much pleasure from travels, especially her most desired and last trip to the Holy Lands.She is survived by nieces, nephews, and friends.Not LostThey are not gone who passBeyond the clasp of hand,Out from the strong embrace,They are but come so closeWe need not grope with handsNor look to see, nor tryTo catch the sound of feet.They have put off their shoesSoftly to walk by dayWithin our thoughts, to treadAt night our dream-led paths of sleep.They are not lost who findThe sunset gate, the goalOf all their faithful years.Not lost are they who reachThe summit of their climb,The peak above the cloudsAnd storms. They are not lostWho find the light of sunAnd stars and God."
